Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Highways England has been reverted.
Your edit here to Highways England was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC68PZJdKAzOWv0yDHqXrmZw) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Conference of European Directors of Roads

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Conference of European Directors of Roads requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Cedr.eu. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Dawn Bard (talk) 16:06, 2 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

User rename

edit
 
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Request reason:

the choice of username was not for promotional reasons but intended to show transparency of the source. However I understand your policies and that I also breached the policy on shared user names - this is now corrected. OK? Cedr.eu (talk) 11:04, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Accept reason:

New name is fine, renamed and unblocked, welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:37, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Conference of European Directors of Roads. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Apologies - I did not intentionally delete the notice. It must have happened when I uploaded my edits to the page Cedr.eu (talk) 17:48, 2 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Conference of European Directors of Roads

edit
 

The article Conference of European Directors of Roads has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references except its own web site. No third-party evidence of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:21, 2 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please don't delete

edit

The references to the CEDR website were made because they were thought to be the most informative. CEDR is a reputable organisation - We will provide other references from reputable websites sites asap. I trust these will be sufficient. Cedr.eu (talk) 17:56, 2 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dear Mr Robert McClenon - have you reviewed the page Conference of European Directors of Roads and verified the third-party references and notability. Is more evidence needed at this stage for removal of the notice to delete? Thanks DAuderghem (talk) 14:00, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Anyone is allowed to contest and remove a WP:PROD nomination, even the creator of the article. As you are clearly contesting it, I have removed it for you (with no opinion of my own). Anyone who thinks it should be deleted would now need to go for a discussion at WP:AFD. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:09, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
